Registration in SisA and Mobility Online

After receiving confirmation of the Education Committee, the student registers their Master’s thesis topic and promoter(s) through SisA by the last week of classes of the second semester at the latest.

The manual to register the master’s thesis (dissertation request) in SiSA can be found here. 

When the topic and promoter have been correctly registered through SisA, the next step is to register the research internship as part of the Master’s Thesis. The start of the registration of the research internship is done in SisA and completed in Mobility Online. Only once this registration is completed, the student is covered by the university’s insurance during their internship.

The manual to register the research internship in Mobility Online can be found here (after login).

The registration procedure, including the upload of all mandatory documents, must be finalised at the latest four weeks before the actual start of the research internship. If the research internship takes place during the summer holidays the registration needs to finalised before 31st of May!

 Tips for a smooth registration in Mobility Online:

• Read the manuals carefully – many common questions are already answered there.
• The research internship is regarded as an internal internship, since there is a framework agreement between the three universities as part of this interuniversity programme.
• The internship supervisor at the University of Antwerp (this is the person authorised to sign the internship agreement on behalf of the university) is prof. Tom Tytgat.
• The host institution for your Master’s thesis is the specific research group where you will carry out your project.
• When asked for a description of your research internship, focus on the location (office, field, lab, etc.) rather than the details of your project.
• Check your completed risk analysis to see if a health assessment is required, and whether it should be arranged by the host institution or through University of Antwerp (see 3. Health supervision in the risk analysis form).
  • For students who did their bachelor in bioscience engineering at University of Antwerp: You have already obtained a health assessment for the course ‘Projectwerk met inbegrip van stage’ and thus can use this form if needed – no need to repeat it.
